P: LR5.2 flickr publish causes all photo collections to only show the flickr set being published

Just updated Lightroom to 5.2. When I publish photos to flickr, then click back to a different collection, the photos shown in the grid are photos from the flickr set being published instead. This happens every time I publish to flickr. Occasionally, photos in other collections disappear instead, once I begin publishing.

This is not just a flickr publish problem. This happens when working with ANY Publish Collection. I have the same problem when working with the Photoshelter Publish Collection.

I've heard that there were bugs with the Publish Collection since 5.0. But something changed in 5.2 to make any use of the Publish Collection basically trap you in that collection. There is no returning to the main gallery short of closing the program and restarting. I have been using Lightroom since the version 1 beta, so I am very familiar with its use, and I have not had such an adverse usability issue like this until this update to 5.2.

I am getting by in the mean time by trying to do most of my work in the main galleries/collections before publishing photos. If there is a need to return to my other photos, I have to close Lightroom and reopen. A restart does get things back to normal, but be very careful working on photos once you have clicked on one of your publish collections and try to switch back: you may not be working on the photo that you think you are!
